They are willing to die, there are a lot of them,they have both hatred and above all, patience.

About time people wake up to the facts !

Attention all Christians and lovers of righteousness, repent of what you need to repent of, then remember the battle cry of Moses and "set your faces like Flints!"

There is a recurring pattern in the Book of Mormon that appears appropriate here. The cyclical pattern finds a society poor and in despair. They find God and enjoy prosperity through their faith. In time, they forget the source of their blessings. They enjoy the prosperity and turn away from God in a secular society reminiscent of what we see brewing in current Western civilization. Having lost their moral compass and appreciation of the blessings from God, the society decays and falls apart.

The Islamic world is poised to take advantage of the secular Western society that currently revels in prosperity with little interest in God. They will destroy our economic prosperity. We will become a poor society in despair for lack of guidance from God. The cycle will repeat, but the grand question is whether Judeo-Christianity or Islam will dominate.

As Americans, we need to stand up for the constitutional republic and the Judeo-Christian values that inspired it. We can't sit back passively or the militant Islamic element will crush our republic and leave us under Sharia law and in the stone age forever.

LOL! Believe me, I feel your pain. I'm STILL fuming at TNT at how badly they handled that show. Cancelled it before a single episode was aired.

is the war a on terrorism The Crusade II?

[DAnconia55]

Both fail to understand that the benefits they seek to appropriate grew out of the Christian culture underlying them

Ah yes. I forget. Which religion was it that imprisoned Galilleo for life. Executed and tortured other scientist 'heretics'... Inquisition ring a bell?

Western philosophy, rule of law, and the renaissance are why we have superior technology. NOT religion.

[Sparta]

Excellent post. I might add that Christendom gave the West its respect for life and supercharged the Greco-Roman philosophies of liberty and equality.

Ive got my sword......east right?

Or...

We realize that there is little need to understand a spiritual or philosophical world in order to wage war. Whatever beliefs one might hold will not deflect a bullet; nor has a prayer ever kept a bomb from dropping out of the sky (or a plane from hitting a building).

I could care less whether their beef with us is based on religion, politics, or the price of cocaine in Saim. If there's a god in this, it doesn't matter.

"Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it, religion has actually convinced people that there's an INVISIBLE MAN...LIVING IN THE SKY...who watches every thing you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten special things that he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry for ever and ever ´til the end of time...but he loves you."

"Western philosophy, rule of law, and the renaissance are why we have superior technology. NOT religion."

And just what helped to shape and form Western philosophy? Might it have been the Christian influence? Be honest and answer the question truthfully. While you're thinking about it, also remember that the majority of Renaissance scientists and philosophers held to the Christian faith. One that quickly comes to mind is Sir Isaac Newton. Perhaps you've heard of him?

It's obvious that you're enamored with the fruits of man's technological prowess. Need I remind you that it (technology) can all disappear in the twinkling of an eye.

We? Got a mouse in your pocket or what? What's with the we stuff? Are you royalty or something? To make such inane comments about belief and prayer simply displays the contempt you hold towards people of faith. Who are you to say such things with such certainty and authority? I would put to you this simple truth: He who holds to no truths worth dying for, truly has nothing worth living for and is not to be trusted.
